• Mouth: Strong structure on the palate, full, supple and soft in the mouth with sweet tannins on the finish that linger for a long time.
• Drinking recommendation: Serve this red wine at 16°C, preferably with hearty dishes.

Organic wine preparation, Bodega Saavedra, Corucho, Peazo la Encina, Madrid DO, Crianza, orgainc wine, red, 2017

The grapes for this excellent red wine come from vines that are more than 55 years old and that thrive in the Peazo de la Encina vineyard.

The berries are harvested at night due to the high daytime temperatures. With this measure, the oxidation of the grapes and the spilled juice can be avoided and the full, fresh aromas can be preserved. In the winery, the berries are freed from stalks and panicles, lightly squeezed so that their juice can escape. Then the grape juice together with the berries including the berry skins form the mash. This mash then begins to ferment slowly and gently at a controlled temperature. In the process, the coloring matter and tannins contained in the berry skins, which are important for the later appearance of the wine, but also for its taste and shelf life, are dissolved.

When fermentation is complete, the wine is "racked off," or decanted, meaning it runs out of the fermenter into another tank, leaving the solids and much of the dead yeast bacteria at the bottom of the tank.

From now on, the wine rests for a few months in large oak barrels and the following spring, as the cellar temperature rises, malolactic fermentation, also known as lactic acid fermentation or biological acid degradation, begins. The slightly more aggressive malic acid contained in the wine is converted into milder lactic acid.

This is followed by an 8-month maturation in large barrels, during which it receives its finishing touches.

The grapes are harvested mechanically and spontaneously fermented into wine in the mash fermentation process, which means that only the grapes' own yeasts are used without the addition of foreign yeasts. This is the first step towards a natural wine and the guarantee that this wine reflects the characteristics of the grapes and the soil and not the aromas of foreign yeasts. In the process, the coloring matter and tannins contained in the berry skins, which are important for the later appearance of the wine, but also for its taste and shelf life, are dissolved.
When fermentation is complete, the wine is decanted, meaning it runs out of the fermenter into another tank, leaving the solids and much of the dead yeast bacteria at the bottom of the tank. This process can be repeated several times until the wine is as clear as if it had been filtered.
After the biological acid reduction in which the aggressive malic acid contained in the wine is converted into the more compatible lactic acid, this organic wine, which can also be described as a natural wine, matures for two months in large oak barrels. It is neither sulphurised nor filtered during its production.
The prerequisite for this procedure is 100% healthy grapes that do not contain any rotting bacteria and have not been treated with fungicides. For this purpose, all equipment such as the wine press, pumps, containers and hoses must be in perfect hygienic condition. If this was the case, then the endogenous SO2 contained in the wine (a by-product of alcoholic fermentation), acidity and alcohol are sufficient to preserve this wine for a few years.

The grape harvest, 6,000 kg/hectare, was carried out by hand in the early morning at a cool temperature and brought to the wine cellar in 7 kg stackable boxes. There they were stored in cold rooms at 10° C for a few hours and then lightly crushed in a so-called grape mill. Some of the juice runs out of the berries without being pressed, which then macerates at a low temperature. The must is pre-clarified by lowering the solids and at the same time important enzymes are created. These processes serve to avoid oxidation and to preserve the fruity, fresh aromas of the later wine. This is fermented spontaneously with the grapes' own yeasts in approximately 500 liter French oak barrels and then matured on the fine yeast for eight months.
